Pro-Life Position Up; Pro-Abortion Down

A new Gallup survey finds the percentage of Americans who identify themselves as supporting legalized abortion has dropped to a record low.

The 41% of Americans who now identify themselves as “pro-choice” is down from 47% last July and is one percentage point below the previous record low recorded in May 2009. On the other hand, 51 percent of Americans call themselves pro-life, one percentage point away from the record high.

The percentage of Americans identifying themselves as pro-life has trended higher since 1995, when the partial-birth abortion debate began in earnest and ultrasound technology made pictures of unborn children the first baby pictures most parents saw. Gallup has found the pro-life position significantly ahead on two occasions, once in May 2009 and again today.
